Chapter 66 Precipitation
……

Lu County, Shandong.

In the Tang Dynasty military camp.

Due to Liu Heita's comeback, Xu Yuanlang's army morale increased greatly and the resistance became extremely tenacious.

Therefore, the army did not advance smoothly in this final stage of the offensive and had been stationed in the same place for more than ten days.

Inside the Chinese army's tent.

Li Yuanji stared at the march map, his brows furrowed, his heart filled with worry.

He was waiting for further instructions from the court, whether to continue attacking Xu Yuanlang or to turn to resolve the threat posed by Liu Heita first.

Moreover, to be honest, he himself did not have much confidence if the imperial court sent him to attack Liu Heita.

"Report!" The voice of a messenger suddenly came from outside the tent.

"Come in!" Li Yuanji replied.

A messenger walked quickly into the tent, knelt on one knee, and presented the letter with both hands:

"Reporting to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, the court has reported that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will personally lead the army to eliminate Liu Heita. The Crown Prince has ordered the Prince of Qi to lead the army quickly to Hebei to join him."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Yuanji's eyes. He almost snatched the letter from the messenger and read it carefully.

As he read deeper, a smile gradually appeared on his sad face.

"Pass the order down, the army will set out immediately and head to Hebei to join the prince!"

Li Yuanji shouted loudly outside the tent.

Upon hearing this, the guards outside the door immediately passed on his order.

Barracks.

Wu Wenchu.

At this moment, he was squatting in front of the stove, practicing quietly.

If you observe his appearance, you will find that he is very different now than he was four months ago.

Four months ago, although he couldn't be said to be thin, he was not strong either.

However, compared with now, he is completely different.

At this moment, Wu Wen, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the stove, was not thin, but very fat.

His fatness is not the kind of bloat that comes from flabby, weak or frail behavior. Instead, he is truly strong and looks full of power and heaviness.

Viewed from behind, he looked like a bear storing up fat energy before hibernation, strong yet heavy.

Moreover, he exudes a special aura that no strangers are allowed to disturb him. Ordinary people will feel an invisible sense of oppression in their hearts just by looking at him.

"Son!"

Yang Ergou came in suddenly.

"What's the matter?"

Although Wu Wen did not speak, an extremely low and penetrating voice came from his body.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi has ordered the army to set up camp immediately and head to Hebei to meet up with the Crown Prince to jointly resist Liu Heita's attack!" Yang Ergou reported.

Hearing the name "Liu Heita", Wu Wen's slightly closed eyes slowly opened a crack, turned his head, and looked at Yang Ergou sharply.

When his eyes met Yang Ergou's, Yang Ergou suddenly felt his heart tighten, as if he was being stared at by some ferocious beast, and his body involuntarily became alert.

"Got it, pack up and let's go."

As he spoke, Wu Wen, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the stove, hardly moved his body. He stood up straight in a seemingly unreasonable posture, relying only on the support of his two legs.

He walked past Yang Ergou with heavy steps.

Compared with Wu Wen's burly figure, Yang Ergou, who was originally stronger than him, now looked much smaller.

It was not until Wu Wen's broad back gradually disappeared that the oppressive feeling in Yang Ergou's heart slowly dissipated.

Huh~ Yang Ergou let out a short breath of relief.

Although he had always been by Wu Wen's side and witnessed the changes in his body shape with his own eyes, the psychological pressure that Wu Wen brought to him each time not only did not decrease with frequent contact, but instead became heavier each time.

Therefore, Yang Ergou couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart, how powerful has the young master become now?

Ming water.

Mingzhou City.

Same place, same battlefield.

Liu Heita, who made a comeback, once again confronted the Tang army here.

Looking at Xiangzhou City across the water, Liu Heita secretly vowed to himself that this time he would avenge his previous humiliation.

In front of Xiangzhou City.

Li Yuanji, who led his army, met with Crown Prince Li Jiancheng here.

"Big brother!" "Third brother!"

When the two met, they showed warm smiles on their faces, hugged each other, and looked like brothers.

"Third brother, hurry into the city. Big brother has prepared a banquet for you to welcome you!"

Li Jiancheng held Li Yuanji's hand and walked into the city shoulder to shoulder.

From a distance, Wu Wen, who was seeing this scene, couldn't help but sigh in his heart. They are brothers too. I wonder what Li Shimin would feel when he saw this scene?
The commander entered the city.

The army could not enter the city.

The army stayed outside the city and set up camp, and the location they chose was not chosen at random.

Together with the Dazhai where the troops brought by Li Jiancheng were stationed, and the Xiangzhou City, the three sides would form a pincer attack.

All the barracks affairs were left to Deng Dayong and Yang Ergou. As usual, Wu Wen went straight into the tent as soon as it was set up to practice in peace.

Although he went on the expedition with the army, this period of time was the longest time for Wu Wen to calm down and improve his strength.

He tried his best to transform what he learned into his own strength.

Although no one has ever fought against him, it is not clear how strong he is yet.

But according to Wu Wen's estimation, he should be able to fight Liu Heita to a 30-70 draw.

This was not self-boasting on his part, but rather Wu Wen used the data about Liu Heita's strength that he had observed on the battlefield, and then deduced it in his mind, ignoring other factors. The final result was obtained from the one-on-one duel between the two.

at dusk.

"Wu Wen!"

A familiar voice suddenly came from outside the tent.

Wu Wen, who was practicing, turned around and looked.

I saw a familiar figure walk into the tent.

"Wei Xima!"

Seeing Wei Zheng coming, Wu Wen immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"You are, Wu Wen?"

Seeing the burly man in front of him, Wei Zheng had an incredible expression on his face.

"What's wrong? Wei Xima doesn't recognize me?" Wu Wen said with a smile.

"People often say that a day of separation is like a long time. It's been less than a year since I last saw you, and you've already changed beyond my recognition."

After confirming that the person in front of him was Wu Wen, Wei Zheng smiled and sighed.

"Wei Xima, please sit down!" Wu Wen invited Wei Zheng to sit down.

After Wei Zheng sat down, he continued to look at Wu Wen carefully, and then said: "It seems that my decision to arrange for you to join the army was indeed a wise one."

"Huh? Was it you who arranged for me to go with the army?" Wu Wen asked back.

"Your Highness, to be exact!"

Wei Zheng explained: "Now the dispute between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the King of Qin is getting more serious. In order to weaken the King of Qin's control over the army and to gain some military power for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we are taking this opportunity to place some people in the army, and you are one of them."

Haha, thank you so much! Wu Wen secretly complained in his heart.

"Tell me, what has happened to you since you joined the army?" Wei Zheng asked with concern, like an elder.

Wu Wen told him bit by bit about his experience of serving in the army.

After hearing the cause of Luo Shixin's death, Wei Zheng, who had been smiling, suddenly frowned, but only for a moment, he returned to his normal expression. However, this subtle change in his mood did not escape Wu Wen's eyes.

The two continued to chat about some other topics.

Wei Zheng then said goodbye and left.

After the little episode.

Wu Wen continued to practice.

night.

It's quiet at night.

He was suddenly awakened from his sleep.

At this moment, Wu Wen only felt countless chaotic voices coming towards him like endless rain.

"A new ability has been awakened!"

"However, this ability will, for the time being, bring me a lot of trouble!"
